Frank Nudo is closing Nick's Famous Coney Island restaurant

Nick's Famous Coney Island, 3746 S.E. Hawthorne Blvd., is a venerable, old-Portland eatery. Owner Frank Nudo is selling the building that houses the restaurant and three adjacent businesses. As word of the closure spread on Friday, longtime customers streamed in at lunch to wish him well, reminisce and eat his classic chili dogs, singles or doubles, with or without onions.
